`
`PETITIONER SUPERCELL OY’S REQUEST FOR REFUND
`OF POST GRANT REVIEW POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(b)

`Petitioner’s Request for Refund
`
`Petitioner Supercell Oy (“Petitioner”) respectfully requests a refund of the
`
`post-institution fees paid by Petitioner in the instant proceeding.
`
`On September 29, 2020, Supercell Oy (“Supercell”) filed a Petition for Post
`
`Grant Review of U.S. Patent No. 10,518,177 requesting review of seventeen
`
`claims. (Paper 2) Petitioner paid a fee of $39,650, including: (i) $16,000 for a
`
`post grant review request fee for up to twenty (20) claims; (ii) $22,000 for a post
`
`grant review post-institution fee for up to twenty (20) claims; and (iii) $1,650 post
`
`grant review post-institution request for each claim in excess of twenty claims1
`
`($825 for two additional claims in excess of 20).
`
`On April 14, 2021, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“the Board”) issued a
`
`decision denying institution of post-grant review on all challenged claims.
`
`(Paper 11) On May 14, 2021, Petitioner filed a Request for Rehearing. (Paper 12)
`
`On August 18, 2021, Petitioner filed an Unopposed Motion to Withdraw Request
`
`for Rehearing. (Paper 15) On August 19, 2021, the Board issued a decision and
`
`Granted Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion to Withdraw Request for Rehearing.
`
`(Paper 16)
`
`1 It appears Petitioner was incorrectly charged this amount of post-grant review
`
`post-institution request of each claim in excess of 20 (1,650 for two additional
`
`claims), as Petitioner only challenged seventeen claims in PGR2020-00088.
